Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

"White Sandy Beach"


*Big Climb Update: The Big Climb is officially full, and not accepting any new climbers. Our 58 team members will start at 11:00 AM on 03-21-10.  We are still in fund raising and preparation mode. Any assistance is welcome at the llswa.org website.

Hawaiian star Israel Kamakawiwo'ole with one of his versions of White Sandy Beach. For us mainlanders still struggling with Winter or early Spring- the view alone is worth a look.  The picture is my sister Cathy looking to the west after Natalie and Sam's wedding last summer at the beach at Ka'ena Point on Oahu. Aloha!

I'm on here this morning, I'm like "wait a minute, is that me?" That's a nice pic. How are you feeling after this last round? We had some fun over there, and it was good for all of us to get together. I'll give that song a listen!
Love, Cathy

You listen to that song and get all relaxed, and then Brudda Iz yells 'Shark!' at the end! Too funny! Great song, thanks!

Cathy and Capt X- Thanks for the comments, Cathy- I thought my pic was almost artistic. X- thanks for revealing the surprise ending- Girls and Iz just wanted to have fun.

Yes, it is an artistic and beautiful picture--nice composition with a contrast of vertical, horizontal and diagonal. I definitely need a break from school next week. It is a lovely picture of Cathy. And was that the song that was sung at Natalie and Sam's wedding? I also heard it on the radio while we were in Hawaii and am absolutely taken with it. So beautiful and wistful. (Talking about before he yells Shark.)
. We finally have sun, 50 degrees and melting snow. Which means the driveway is full of mud.
Hope peaceful waves are soothing restless souls

Congratulations Mary! Reaching Tenure is a big deal, we wish we could fly back there and enjoy a Big Al pizza or whatever celebration dinner you have planned. WAY TO GO!

Love, Greg
